Make the Goal Diff stat count forfeited matches as well

With a lot more matches being ffed in draftout than mcsr due to the fact that it's sometimes impossible to come back from games, I think that statistic could reflect a player's skill better if it accounted for all matches. It would also discourage people from forfeiting to try and "save" their stat.

Hmm i see the reasoning but i also see that this could weight kind of unfairly over time, at least in my elo i tend to get ffd on if i just get a large amount of early game goals before them, so it might kind of inflate it that way when games get ffd on like 5-0 . But maybe itd even out idk!

idk I see no reason not to tbh like if you get ff'd on and that's "inflating" your goal diff that still means you were ahead 5 goals so 🤷‍♂️

surely it's silly to use it as a metric of skill, we have elo for that

elo > winrate > goal diff

Really with how loose the matchmaking is, elo is the only stat that can matter

Yeah i also cant imagine anyone ffing over that stat to begin with but it doesnt seem like a bad idea necessarily i just dont know that its needed

decent as a playstyle indicator but not much else I think

It's really just weird to have a leaderboard for it. Having extra stats doesn't hurt but it's not the primary goal so it doesn't need a leaderboard.
